[ba-ohs-talk] CORRECTED: 2002 PhD on Compendium (Knowledge Media Institute, Open U., UK)
<<< sorry - I forgot to append the main advert to my preamble! >>> (01)
Dear IBIS/VIMS/Dialog Mapping/Compendium colleagues(!) (02)
[with apologies to those of you on >1 of the above groups] (03)
One of the PhD projects available is to work on some aspect of the
IBIS/VIMS/Dialog Mapping-related Compendium method and toolset: (04)
http://kmi.open.ac.uk/news/compendium2002.html (05)
I am particularly interested in people with interest - and ideally
experience - in meeting facilitation/group dynamics (virtual or
co-present meetings), so that we can study the human dynamics of
Compendium in various contexts. (06)
However, I am also keen to hear from Java developers with a vision of
how to advance the state of the art. (07)
Please get in touch ASAP to discuss if interested - these
studentships are highly competitive. (08)
Cheers, (09)
